    Author: Davis AV, Firman TK, Hay BP, Raymond KN.

    Abstract:
    The isomerization dynamics of tris-catecholate complexes have been investigated by variable-temperature NMR methods, demonstrating that the intramolecular racemization of Delta and Lambda enantiomers of d0 Ti(IV) is facile and faster than that of d10 Ga(III) and Ge(IV) analogues. Activation parameters for the racemization of K2[Ti2(3)] (H(2)2 = 2,3-dihydroxy-N,N'-diisopropylterephthalamide) were determined from line shape analysis of 1H NMR spectra [methanol-d4: deltaH++ = 47(1) kJ/mol; deltaS++ = -34(4) J/mol K; deltaG++(298) = 57(3) kJ/mol; DMF-d7: deltaH++ = 55(1) kJ/mol; deltaS++ = -16(4) J/mol K; deltaG++(298) = 59(3) kJ/mol; D2O (pD* = 8.6, 20% MeOD): deltaH++ = 48(3) kJ/mol; deltaS++ = -28(10) J/mol K; deltaG++(298) = 56(3) kJ/mol]. The study of K2[Ti4(3)] (H(2)4 = 2,3-dihydroxy-N-tert-butyl-N'-benzylterephthalamide) reveals two distinct isomerization processes: faster racemization of mer-[Ti4(3)]2- by way of a Bailar twist mechanism (D3h transition state) [T(c) approximately 242 K, methanol-d4], and a slower merright harpoon over left harpoonfac [Ti4(3)]2- isomerization by way of a Rây-Dutt mechanism (C2v transition state) [T(c) approximately 281 K, methanol-d4]. The solution behavior of the Ti(IV) complexes mirrors that reported previously for analogous Ga(III) complexes, while that of analogous Ge(IV) complexes was too inert to be detected by 1H NMR up to 400 K. These experimental findings are augmented by DFT calculations of the ML3 ground states and Bailar and Rây-Dutt transition states, which correctly predict the relative kinetic barriers of complexes of the three metal ions, in addition to faithfully reproducing the ground-state structures. Orbital calculations support the conclusion that participation of the Ti(IV) d orbitals in ligand bonding contributes to the greater stabilization of the prismatic Ti(IV) transition states.
